Should the members of the IRA have been referred to as "Catholics?"

"Catholics bombed a hotel today...."

"Today, Catholics entered a restaurant and started shooting..."

Personally, I prefer the term "terrorists" to Muslims, Catholics, militants, etc."

Sure, if they were trying to install a global Pope-iphate by killing and maiming every culture and religion that wasn’t Catholic.

But Northern Ireland was not about religion, it was about Britain’s presence and nothing more.

To reverse your absurd and illogical analogy.....

Is there an occupation by Westerners of Mecca and Medina?
